This invention relates to a new and useful improvement in a bakedconfection and a mold for making the same.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple, efficient, durable,economical mold which can be used to bake a confection, such as cakedough into the form of a small cake with a sup'- port or stick disposedthereinto, whereby the support or stick may be used as a handle. To thisend, themold is provided with means .to receive the handle and supportit in the mold in the proper position and relation with respect to theinterior of the mold, so that it will be effective as a support when theconfection is removed from the mold.

The invention further concerns the baked confection itself. which is inthe form of a small cake, with a handle projecting therein ,andextending therefrom and being of a nature to receive one or more ediblecoatings if desired.

The present preferred form which the invention may'assume is illustratedin the drawings, of which:

Fig. lis a longitudinal cross section through the mold showing a bakedconfection therein;

Fig. 2 is a vertical cross section taken on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1; and,

Fig. 3 is a perspective View partly broken away, showing the confectionremoved from the mold provided With an edible coating.

Referring now merely-to the specific form of the invention, it will beseen that there is provided in the manufacturing of this bakedconfection, a mold pan IU having side walls II and I2 and end walls I3and I4, and open at the top in the usual form of such pan or mold,However, in this case, an end wall such as I 4 has a slot I5 cut thereinand extending downwardly from the top. This slot is to receive asupporting element IB which projects into the mold as shown. At theinner end of the support I6 closely adjacent the end wall I3 of themold, there is disposed a flange element I1 made of a piece ofcardboard, heavy paper, or similar material, bent over on itself to formspaced Walls, the inner one of which is provided with an aperture I9through which the end of the support or stick I 6 extends. Another angeI8 in the form of a simple apertured disk, is disposed around thesupport I 6 closely adjacent the other end of the mold and adjacent theslot I5. This support I6 may be a solid rod or may be tubular althoughit is shown as a solid rod and its one end projects outwardly throughthe slot I5 outside the mold to form a handle 20. The material 2| to bebaked is poured 3 Claims. (C1. 99-439) into the mold with the stick I6therein, and will naturally. fill the mold and flow around the stick.The mold is then placed in an oven and the contents baked. When-thebaking process is over, it is a simple matter to lift the contents outby means of the handle 20 and remove the flanges I7 and I8 therebypresenting a baked confection with a stick imbedded therein to act as ahandle. This baked confection may be eaten as is, or may be covered witha suitable coating 22 by dipping or other Well known processes, whichmay be composed of ice cream, or chocolate, or other edible coating.

This article makes a very simple and attractive baked confection, whichcan be eaten as such or may be otherwise treated in the mannerdescribed, to add suitable sweet or edible coatings thereto. j 'Y Whilethe invention has been described in detail and with respect 5to thepreferred form shown in the drawings, it is not to be limited to suchdetails and forms since many changes and modifications may be made inthe invention without departing vfrom the spirit and scope of theinvention in its broadest aspects." Hence, it is intended to cover anyand all forms and modifications of the invention which mai/,come Withinthe language or scope of any one or more of the appended claims.

1. A mold for baked confections which comprises a mold pan havingbottom, end, and side walls, one end wall having a slot extending downfrom the top edge, a'. supporting stick disposed longitudinally withinthe mold pan and received in said slot, said stick Ito be disposed inthis position through the baking of a confection and acting as asupporting handle for the baked product, a flange adjacent each sidewall, each flange having an aperture therethrough, said stick beingreceived in the apertures to prevent upward movement of said stickduring the baking operation.

2. A mold for baked confections which comprises a mold pan havingbottom. end, and side walls, one end wall having a slot thereinextending downwardly fromfthe top edge thereof, a stick extendingthroughsaid slot and projecting longitudinally into the mold pan, a pairof ange elements disposed in the mold pan closely adjacent the endwalls, one of said anges surrounding the stick adjacent the slot, theother of said anges being in the form of a blank bent to form spacedparalleled Walls, one of said Walls.'

having an aperture therein into which the end of the stick projects,both of said anges adapted 3 to prevent upward movement of the stickduring the baking operation.

3. A mold for baked confections which comprises a mold pan havingbottom, end, and side walls, one end wall having a slot extending downfrom the top edge thereof, a supporting element received in said slotand extending longitudinally CHARLES A, KRENS.' 20
